In July and August Ahonen appeared in seven concerts at Musikdorf Ernen and another seven times at Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival. In between Ahonen performed Crumb’s Makrokosmos I at Salzburg Festival receiving enthusiastic reviews on Salzburger Nachrichten, Süddeutsche Zeitung and Die Presse. The latter writes
Ahonen has it all, the necessary virtuosity, the wide breath, the tension over contemplative calm, the immersion in beautiful riddles and painful poetry
